 * Hi All, can anyone help with the code to validate email addresses that looks 
   like [name@provider.co.za](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/e-mail-validation-issue/name@provider.co.za?output_format=md)?
 * If I use the standard validator it indicates that the address is not valid.
 * Best regards,
 * Gys

 * Hi Gys,
 * Are you trying to validate it using the `is_email()` function in WordPress?
 * I just had a test on the address you provided using `is_email( 'name@provider.
   co.za' )` and it seems to validate it correctly.

 * Hi Marius, I had a blond moment, thanks for the comment, yes it work for Contact
   Form 7 but not in WP marketplace. I asked in WP marketplace’s forum first, and
   the answer referred me to WordPress. I will go back to the WP marketplace forum
   and see if they can address the issue.
 * Thanks again,
 * Gys
